Rhode  Island's  Share  in  the  War 


The  War  of  the  Austrian  Succession  having  broken  out  between 
England  and  Spain,  the  General  Assembly  of  Rhode  Island  met  in 
February,  1639-40  and  made  provision  for  putting  the  Colony  in  a 
state  of  defence.  Rhode  Island  also  sent  two  companies  of  volun- 
teers under  Capt.  Hopkins  in  the  unsuccessful  expedition  against 
Cartagena  in  1 740. 

France  entered  the  War  in  1744  and  the  defences  of  the  colony 
were  on  that  account  still  further  strengthened.  A  force  of  150 
men  was  raised  in  1745  for  Shirley's  expedition  against  Louisbourg, 
but  the  Rhode  Island  contingent  did  not  arrive  until  after  that 
fortress  had  surrendered.*  In  the  following  year  Rhode  Island 
sent  three  more  companies  to  Nova  Scotia  under  Captains  Sayer, 
Rice,  and  Cole. 

By  far  the  greater  part  of  Rhode  Island's  effort  in  this  conflict 
consisted  in  Privateering.  A  large  number  of  these  vessels  were 
sent  out  each  year  and  they  inflicted  great  damage  on  the  enemy's 
commerce.  The  Colony  sloop  of  War  Tartar  was  built  during 
this  war  and  was  of  much  use  as  a  scouting  vessel  and  convoy 
guard. 

This  war,  known  in  the  Colonies  as  King  George's  War,  came 
to  an  end  in  1 748  with  the  peace  of  Aix-la-Chapelle.
